I think I found a way to do what I want to do. It's dirty but it works:
*--- # Copy hosts file*
*- hosts: all*
* become: yes*
* tasks:*
* - name: update hosts template file*
*copy:*
* src: /home/ansible/hostfile *
* dest: /tmp/hostfile*
* owner: root*
* group: root*
*
Hello,
I think you should use templating and jinja2 a bit in here. Will make the
file easier to control and avoid appending. You can also use NetworkManager
(if you use that).

Why do you need that to append. If you have hosts file you can use copy to
replace that role in every hosts file. I assume you have DNS server

Yes. Use copy module. I hope so you are referring to inventory file which
has all node details.
Like below
/etc/ansible/inventory
[all]
host1
host2
host3
/etc/ansible/playbook/master
host entry files
/etc/ansible/playbook/test.yaml
host: all
tasks:
- name: copying host file to all nodes
Actually, I am referring to the master file outside the playbook.
In other words I just have a plain text master file with all my host
entries. Then, I create a playbook that references that master file to send
to all nodes as reference to update their /etc/hosts file.
Is that possible?

If I understand correctly the master file you are talking about is playbook
term in ansible. The playbook has all information related to hosts and
deployment instruction. You can give the Input in playbook and it will
modify the stuff accordingly.

I'm really new to Ansible and am in the process of trying to learn it.
Question: Does Ansible have the ability to look at a master file that

to the /etc/hosts file on all t
